Elderly Instruments International Shipping Rates

We have found that the cheapest and most reliable ways to ship instruments and other high value items are via FedEx International Priority and United Parcel Service (UPS) Express services. FedEx and UPS are international delivery companies independent of the U.S. Postal Service. All goods are fully insured and will usually arrive within 2 to 3 business days of shipment.

FedEx or UPS will act as the customs broker, and the receiver (you) is responsible for all import duties and fees. You will be obligated to pay brokerage fees. Contact your customs bureau for current duties and fees in your country.

You must provide us with a telephone or telefax number before any
order can be shipped with these services. (They will need to contact you to arrange delivery.)

Small Goods - For small goods orders (not containing musical instruments or cases), our shopping cart will calculate rates for USPS and (if the order qualifies) IPA shipping.

In Case of Shipping Damage - We check the conditions of all items before shipping. Damage in transit is very rare, but if the shipping box looks damaged, try not to accept it until the delivery person has indicated damage on the proper UPS forms. (This is not essential, but it helps when making claims.) Then be sure to notify us immediately so we can initiate the claim. You must keep the box and all the packing material. Do not ship damaged merchandise back to us until we have authorized it.
